Are they going to re-powder coat the inside of the wheel after the welds?

I assume you are adding 2 inches to the inside of the wheel. What do you think will be necessary for this to clear without rubbing? Will you have to run a spacer?

Sorry for all the questions, but I am contemplating doing something similar myself and would really appreciate your input.

well im assuming the offset is going to be somewhat close to what the ZR1's are so im going to run a 1/4 spacer at first with the BFH mod and see what happens. if needed ill run an adapter setup w/ some ARP studs

and yes they are repowdercoating the whole inside black like before

Awesome! Please share your thoughts of the workmanship on the wheel widening and powder coating when you receive them. Also, how the fitment/clearance works out and what spacers and mods are needed. This information is extremely helpful to me and others I am sure. Thanks for being the first (at least that I know of) to have the 35th LE wheels widened.

Yeah I'm kinda of a fan of the LE's also! Where did you get the DSM springs from? Looking into lowering mine.
